  • Done for now

    I feel like this is just 2 local radio stations from Baltimore and KC who somehow got put on the same broadcast and talk in circles for 2 hours. “Mahomes is 17th in every stat!” “But who would you want with .5 seconds left!” Ad nauseam

  • Awesome collection of talent

    Eagles fan here saying I wish the rest of the Bird Gang would start showing Nick Wright some class and respect and stop harassing him. First Things First is the best show on television. Love the rapport and chemistry these guys have together.
